    They're just FFP manipulation, often by the other club, as it won't affect us.
    It puts the fee into another year, which is favourable for them.

    Covid ****ed virtually all overseas clubs in a variety of ways.
    Barca, for example, don't actually have money worries or they didn't until this window's "levers".
    They had money, but La Liga's rules on FFP screwed them completely.
    Not having crowds meant that their revenue dropped massively, so their spending had to.
    That left them with a wage bill that they couldn't pay because of the rules, not reality.

    It was suggested 2-3 weeks ago that he was given directions for the door

    Because he had a year left on his deal and wouldn't sign a new one.

    Not sure he got a fair run in his favoured position, to be honest.
    I noticed him being played on the left and even in the centre quite a lot, when he was in the team.
    Getting sent off against the filth won't have helped him, but he was left-back again. Soft one, too.

    Leandro Damaio was sat next to him. Ryan Babel told me so.

    Judging by Gil's post to social media today, it doesn't look like he shares that sentiment. Seems really peeved the Valencia move collapsed.

    Understandably. He probably would've been playing every game for them.
    Time for him to get his head down and make a point to the manager.

    Somebody mentioned this a few weeks ago

    While the source is...well let's just say it doesn't have a tier flair on r/coys, it would suggest that Paratici has a degree of control that Arnesen, Comolli and Baldini did not - although the fact Lavinier would have needed to be registered this season may also factor into this

    Former Tottenham, West Ham and Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live about signing players from rivals: "I nearly signed Patrick Vieira for Tottenham. He would have been at Manchester City or Juventus, I can't remember. But I met him at his house. He was a great guy, a really impressive man and what a player he was.

    "He was [keen]. He was quite fearless, really. Somebody at Tottenham said 'oh we can't bring him here, the crowd won't like it'. I said 'listen, if he comes here and plays like we know he can, what courage he has got. He was a true legend at Arsenal and he's willing to come and play here at Tottenham, it shows you what he is made of'.

    "That would have been an incredible signing."

    You almost had me with this fake Arry quote, but you
    made the fatal mistake with :

    "That would have been an ***incredible***"

    *** should have been : triffic.

    Redknapp was our manager between 2008 and 2012.
    Vieira would've been at Inter, City or retired in that period.
    Didn't manage 20 league games in any of those seasons.
    Would've wound up the filth, though! <laugh>

    This sounds very much like 'Arry's desire to sign an obviously finished Rio Ferdinand in the summer of 2012...which he subsequently did as QPR manager, to prove how right Levy and Lewis were to give him the freedom to prove what a ****ing awful idea it truly was.

    Is there anyone they’re not signing, at this point? Madness!
